Advice for a first time home buyer

[Abriauna Garcia]

Hello! My name is Abriauna. I have been listening to Bigger Pockets podcast for a couple of months now and I am learning so much but still in the beginning stages of learning how to jump in to real estate investing. I am hoping to buy my first home by summer 2025. I currently live in Denver but am looking to move to a new state. I want to be somewhere I will enjoy but also somewhere that’ll be a good investment for either short term rentals or long term rentals in the future. I plan to travel a lot and would like to make my first buy an investment property after a couple years of living there myself. I would appreciate any advice on what I should look out for or a chance for a mentor to talk through opportunities with. A few cities I am interested in are Houston, Scottsdale, San Diego. I am open to other states/ cities as well. My partner will be moving with me but I will be the owner. Thanks so much!
